In Destiny 2, the wait for HDR with Curse of Osiris should come to an end. However, PS4 players will have to be patient.
Before the launch of Destiny 2, there was surprising news: The MMO shooter will not offer HDR on consoles for the time being. But Bungie promised that this feature would be added in the future.
HDR stands for “High Dynamic Range” and ensures that colors are more vibrant on HDR-capable displays, that more details can be seen, and that colors appear more natural. In short: The image will be better.
Yesterday, on December 5th, it was supposed to happen: The PS4 Pro and Xbox One X were finally supposed to receive HDR. However, the PS4 Pro Guardians will have to wait a bit longer.
HDR issues are under investigation
The patch notes for update 1.11 list HDR support for consoles:
A few hours after the launch of Curse of Osiris, Bungie tweeted: There are issues with HDR availability on the PS4. These are being investigated.
Investigations are still ongoing. Recently, community manager DeeJ provided an update that the team is making progress. When a solution for the HDR issues will come, they will let us know soon. He wants to inform us now that the investigations are progressing.
So the PS4 Guardians will have to wait a little longer until they can experience Destiny 2 in a new light. It seems there are no HDR issues on the Xbox One X.
Otherwise, the launch of Curse of Osiris went relatively smoothly. There was no server crash, and the Guardians could log in quickly. Aside from the HDR issues, Bungie reports no other urgent problems that they are investigating.
Perhaps the HDR issues on the PS4 will be resolved next week, on December 12th, as the next update is already set to be released, which will introduce further endgame innovations.
